Google has released Chromium Web browser sometimes ago. I wanted to install on my Fedora 12 system.
Install Chromium Web browser from http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F12/
rpm -ivh http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F12/chromium-4.0.252.0-0.1.20091119svn32498.fc12.i686.rpm
The installation may failed due to dependencies of libicu libraries.
error: Failed dependencies:
libicudata.so.40 is needed by chromium-4.0.252.0-0.1.20091119svn32498.fc11.i586

My Fedora 12 system already has the International Components for Unicode libraries 4.2.1 (libicuuc.so.4.2.1) which were not supported by Chromium Web browser.
So, to resolves the libicu 4.0 dependencies, first remove the newer version from my system.
yum remove libicu
Then get the libicu 4.0 from RPM search and install using rpm command.
rpm -ivh libicu-4.0.1-5.fc11.i586.rpm
The short-cut icon would appear in Applications, Internet.
